Glenn Diesen: The Old Geopolitical Unipolar Order is Finished - The New Is Based on Economics!

Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeastern Norway addressed the webinar organized by the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX) on the “The Outcome and Implications of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China”. Professor Diesen, who has authored many books and studies on international geopolitics, presented a fascinating tour d’horizon over the shift of global economic power to the East with China at the center of it, and on the obsoleteness of the shrinking unipolar order lead by the West. He cited the Global Security Initiative launched by the Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2021, arguing that security and economic development are inseparable. Professor Diesen advised the West to find a way of adapting to the new situation in the world, for example through joining such global connectivity initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative.
